Artificial wreck with a shore walk and exit openings
Artificial wreck with a shore walk and exit openings
Noas Ark is an artificial pram wreck in Nordhavn with a short shore carry and a shallow route into a structure that has multiple exit openings. The dive is a good training ground for buoyancy and navigation, but the real challenge is staying off the silt and handling the longer gear walk from parking to the stairs. It works best as a calm-water scuba or freedive session, with the surrounding flat bottom and seaweed patches adding a small-life bonus rather than a big wall-dive feel.

Flat sandy bottom with eelgrass and algae around a concrete pram wreck; silt is easy to stir and the interior feels enclosed.
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Keep fins high and use frog kicks so you do not stir silt inside the pram. Check the exits before entering and respect the slippery sliske down to the water.
Access Restrictions
The access walk is long enough that a cart helps, and the slippery entry ramp demands care with loaded gear.
Legal Notes
No special permit is highlighted, but the Nordhavn access area still needs normal harbor and park-rule awareness.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best for buoyancy, navigation, and through-swim practice while keeping a close eye on exits and silt.
Freediving
Works for confident freedivers too, but only if you are comfortable with enclosed spaces and can stay relaxed in the interior.
Snorkeling
Best around the shallow approach and exterior on calm days rather than lingering inside the wreck.
